You’re not measuring your ingredients accurately Too much flour or sugar can have a bigger negative effect on the finished product than you’d believe.Follow the exact weights given in a recipe and don’t use cheap analogue scales that are hard to read. Digital scales that weigh in 1g increments are your best friend when baking.
Use calibrated measuring spoons rather than cutlery spoons. The latter isn’t a standard size and vary hugely in their capacity.
